How to become a volunteer

Volunteering underpins everything we do at PCDT. We work with local organisations to find out what volunteering opportunities are available. We also develop our own projects in response to local needs. So if you want to make a difference to your own life as well as others’ here’s how you go about it:

The Volunteer Charter

Volunteers should be recruited to perform tasks that match their original motivation to volunteer. They should not be referred to an agency simply because they want to volunteer.

Volunteers should not be used to cover roles that are traditionally paid.

Volunteers should be referred to organisations only where staff agree to the arrangement and welcome volunteers

Voluntary activity should be distinct from paid employment; it should complement paid work
